Re: only prideful player left?

@DontSilenceMe

Have you actually used a fully equipped R301 with all the addons as 'Level 3'?

With the Level 2 or Level 3 Extended Mag, you have 25-28 rounds!

Have a look at this Wiki;

Yes Light Ammo is Low Damage, but because of the Speed of the R99 and R301 with Level 3 Mags on them, you hold down that mouse and you SHRED people down! Be sure you are doing Head Shots and watch them drop! Of course make sure you have A LOT of Light Ammo!

When I play with an R301, it's all I'll carry so I can carry like 300 Rounds of Light Ammo.

Get an R301 equipped with all the goodies and you'll see how powerful it can be. 😉

@DontSilenceMeYes, I have seen Shroud using R301 most of the time. He would land 80%+ of the shots on the target. It is quite enjoyable to see him using this gun, but I would rather choose not to have this elegant weapon but a Devotion.

@TJ400000  I'll have to admit, I'm still getting a feel for the weapons, and I've done pretty good at times with an equipped Hemlock.

I'll have to try and get a Fully Equipped Devotion next time. 😉

@xpl0its im no saying its not powerful...im saying it requires more skill to use a 301 than it does a devotion or a any of the other gun i mentioned off the rip

@DontSilenceMe

Every game fighting situation is going to be different.

I personally don't see the R301 as needing more skill because of it's speed, I see that as an easier thing, provided you are hitting the target.

so what do you call "provided your hitting the target"? that sounds like skill to me...cause if you miss a few shots in a trade off your gonna have to reload while that guy with the spitfire is just chuggin away...doo doo doo....doo doo doo...

I don't believe "prideful" players exist.

Just roll with the guns you come across or feel like using that game.

Some guns are stronger but that doesn't mean you aren't a respectable player if you use them.

It's called meta and preference and there aren't wrong gun choices.
I think sportsmanlike conduct in game's really important, you can limit your gun choices yourself if you want.

That's 100% up to you, but calling others bad, unsportsmanlike or unprideful because they use those guns is wrong.

As @Zeelmaekers said, a player should really be choosing his load-out based on the weapons and items available to him. That is the most effective way to play.

For example: if you pick up a level 3 barrel stabiliser, and you have the choice between an R301 and a Devotion, then you could take the Devotion as it benefits more from the L3 stab.

Or, you may want to benefit your team by taking weapons that don't conflict with their ammo types.

There are different ways to play based on your perspective while you're playing and the circumstances of your match. 🤔

i dont feel like its wrong at all...the only reason to run a peacekeeper is to deal massive dmg or guaranteed dmg with a giant reticle....there is no other reason..."its better close range"...why? because its easier than tracking 12 shots accurately? meta to me is the same as broken. whatever is broken becomes the new meta. thats why the "meta" changes...when the patch comes out and the "meta" is no longer the broken game feature the next unfixed broken feature becomes the new "meta"...nobody used to run pathfinder becasue he had a huge hitbox...no he has 0 hitbox and is the new meta...if your always exploiting broken features how is it not unsportsmanlike or unprideful?
